"Shepherd:  Who Needs One!"

Scripture Reading:
Isaiah 40:11   (HCSBO) "He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart."

Devotional Reading:

If you grew up in the city, you probably have no idea what danger a sheep faces every day. It has no defensive skills and no sense of direction. It doesn't know the difference between a dangerous river and a gentle stream. It's just driven by its thirst. That's why it needs a shepherd - and why you need one too. You need a shepherd to:

(1) Protect you! Jesus warned us, "The man who does not enter… by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief"   Notice the words "some other way." Certain people will try to get to you through 'the back door', because they have their own agenda. Some will even come through the Internet, like the pedophile and the pornographer. (It's well named, 'The Web!') What's the answer? Keep your eyes on the Shepherd.

(2) Feed you! What you eat determines your health, your strength and whether you live long enough to fulfill your destiny. Sheep don't know the difference between poisonous weeds (like, chichicaste) and healthy pasture, because they look alike. Listen, "Beware of false prophets… they are devouring wolves" .  Some will sell you dates for The Rapture; others, formulas for getting rich quick. Watch what you eat!  They will mislead you through false teachings & faith healers A hundred year's ago Australia had millions of wolves and thousands of sheep. Today they've millions of sheep and thousands of wolves. Why? Because the sheep learned to stay close to the shepherd. And you must too!

Keep the Son in your eyes,
Pastor Ben J Lahay

Galatians 2:20
